However, Ju Wuba's overly intelligent elephant is a problem. It can't be killed by ordinary arrows and can even shield its master from arrows. The key issue is that Ju Wuba rides too high on the elephant's back, and in close combat, it can't get around the elephant, unless...
Hmm? Thinking of this, Xiang Yu suddenly looked at a thick tree in front of him and then accelerated towards it.
Ju Wuba was starting to panic, but his mount was full of fighting spirit, and this jungle was the territory of wild beasts, so there was nothing to be afraid of. He even had a little expectation. The enemy general was highly skilled and must not be an ordinary person. If he could capture and kill this person, the merit would be great, and he might even be granted a title.
Woohoo...
The running elephant suddenly neighed and slowed down, cautiously moving forward.
Ju Wuba immediately tensed up, gripping the whip tightly. That guy was a skilled archer; he might be hiding nearby, aiming at him.
Last time I was saved by an elephant, what about next time?
I have to be careful.
High in the tree, Xiang Yu held his breath, preparing to leap from the sky onto the elephant's back and deliver a fatal blow to Ju Wuba as he passed by.
However, it seems the plan is going to fail; the elephant appears to have spotted him.
The elephant stopped and then slowly backed away.
Xiang Yu cursed inwardly, "Is this an elephant? It's even smarter than a human!"
We can't wait any longer!
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu instantly drew his bow to its fullest extent and, from his high vantage point, aimed his arrows at Ju Wuba's three vital points.
Whoosh whoosh!
Whoosh!
Almost at the same time as the three arrows were fired, Xiang Yu had already jumped towards another tree with his halberd. Since you won't come over, then I'll have to go over to you!
Woohoo...
With a bellow, the elephant raised its trunk and knocked away two arrows, the last of which grazed the top of Ju Wuba's head.
It wasn't that Xiang Yu missed the target, but rather that Ju Wuba ducked down and tucked his head in.
But Xiang Yu didn't place his hopes on those three arrows; instead, he relied on a deadly move that came from the sky!
"Die!" Xiang Yu leaped high into the air and slashed his halberd downwards!
Ju Wuba's eyes widened instantly. He couldn't believe there was such a formidable person in the world. At this moment, he had no time to dodge!
There was no way he could block it, since his weapon was just a flimsy whip.
At the critical moment.
Woohoo...
The elephant actually lifted its two front legs and stood up, instantly throwing the giant Wuba away.
Bang!
Click!
Boom!
The halberd and the ivory collided and broke with a crash, while the giant elephant fell to the ground. The movement was extremely difficult, and the force was too great, making it impossible to maintain balance.
After landing, Xiang Yu rolled over, then drew his ring-pommel sword and slashed at Ju Wuba, who had also fallen hard. Unexpectedly, a leopard suddenly sprang out from the bushes next to Ju Wuba!
"Perfect timing!" Xiang Yu reacted swiftly, slashing his sword horizontally. The leopard was in mid-air and had no time to dodge, making this an excellent opportunity to kill it!
Xiang Yu had long been on guard against that cunning leopard. The elephant would sometimes bellow, wasn't it just calling its friends?
bite!
Xiang Yu's eyes widened suddenly. He never expected that his exquisite strike would be caught by the leopard's teeth!
The ear-piercing scream abruptly stopped. No one knew how strong the leopard's bite was, but the knife couldn't be pulled out!
Just then, a fierce tiger suddenly appeared, opening its blood-red maw and pouncing towards Xiang Yu!
roar!
In that instant, Xiang Yu seemed to see the leopard in front of him laughing, and at the same time felt a bloody wind enveloping him.
If he doesn't give up the knife now, he might be pounced on by the tiger. But if he abandons the knife and tries to dodge, he will face the double threat of a leopard and a tiger, and he won't even have a knife in his hand!
No, we may face a four-way attack from leopards, tigers, elephants, and giant tyrants!
Xiang Yu sensed something; this tiger was definitely a 'spirited' being, able to sneak here silently.
In the blink of an eye, these thoughts flashed through Xiang Yu's mind. At the same time, Xiang Yu made a decision: he was not afraid to discard his sword, but it was not the right time yet!
With strong teeth, it bit down on my knife and wouldn't let go?
Sure, go ahead and try if you dare!
"Go to hell!" Xiang Yu suddenly exerted his strength, smashing both his sword and the leopard at the charging tiger!
Aww...woo~
Meow!
At that moment, the leopard was devastated, because its head was heading straight for the tiger's open mouth!
Isn't this a coincidence? No, it's not a coincidence at all!
Chapter 261 Wrathful Slash
The leopard, also known as the golden leopard, has a small head and a long tail. Although it is a large carnivore, it is much smaller than the tiger.
A tiger's fangs could easily pierce a leopard's head, but only if the leopard willingly puts its head into the tiger's mouth, just like those reckless circus trainers who put their heads into tigers' mouths.
Coincidentally, this leopard was one that dared to court death, accidentally putting its head into the tiger's mouth.
Fortunately, the tiger could still distinguish who its teammates were and did not bite off the leopard's head, but their planned ambush also failed.
The leopard, startled by the tiger's jaws, had already released its grip. Xiang Yu suddenly dodged to the side, taking the opportunity to draw his ring-pommel sword.
The leopard, whose head was in the tiger's mouth, tried to pull its head out after landing, but this required the tiger's cooperation. It had to open its mouth as wide as possible and find the right angle, otherwise it would get stuck by the tiger's fangs.
If Xiang Yu himself were here, he could seize the moment when the tiger and leopard merge and stab them together with his sword, stringing the two beast heads together.
Although Xiang Yu's clone couldn't kill two tigers with one strike, he could have seized the opportunity to kill one of them. However, he didn't do that. Instead, he swung his ring-pommel sword and slashed directly at Ju Wuba, who was struggling to get up.
Opportunity knocks but once. Once entangled by tigers and leopards, and the giant elephant stands up again, or other ferocious beasts come to its aid, killing Ju Wuba will be much more difficult.
Hao Jiu guessed that there was probably another 'spirited' wolf king on its way, possibly with a large group of minions.
But just as Xiang Yu's clone was about to rush past the tiger, a sudden gust of wind struck.
Ugh!
The tiger's tail, like a whip, swept across the army, attempting to force Xiang Yu to retreat.
Xiang Yu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead slashed down with his sword, forcibly breaking through!
The tiger reacted quickly, hurriedly retracting its tail and narrowly avoiding the blade; otherwise, it would have been a tiger with only half a tail.
Although humans do not have claws and fangs, the weapons they create are becoming increasingly sophisticated and more terrifying than claws and fangs.
At this moment, the tiger and leopard that had just merged had separated, and the leopard with its head still wet was also using its speed to chase after them, leaping into the air.
But Xiang Yu paid no attention to what was behind him. All he wanted to do was kill Ju Wuba. With so many powerful and unusual beasts helping him, this man was truly suspicious.
But it's only suspicious, because the 'host' Ju Wuba himself seems a bit weak, he just has a lot of strength and relies almost entirely on wild beasts in battle.
The probability that Ju Wuba is the target host is at most fifty percent, and it is very likely that killing him would be pointless.
Xiang Yu didn't have time to think too much. Just as Hao Jiu said, there were too many suspicious people. He had to narrow down the scope and identify the target. Killing the wrong person was a last resort.
Finally, Xiang Yu reached Ju Wuba, raised his sword and thrust with all his might, shouting, "Die!"
Ju Wuba wanted to retaliate with his whip, but unfortunately, the whip had flown away when he fell. How could he possibly withstand this killing star with his bare hands? My life is over!
puff!
Blood splattered!
The ring-pommel sword pierced through the body at the heart, but it did not kill instantly, and it did not seem to have hit a vital spot.
How is that possible!
"Ah!!!" In the face of life and death, Ju Wuba suddenly became fierce, grabbed Xiang Yu's wrist holding the knife, and pushed forward like a bulldozer.
If Xiang Yu were in his true form, he would naturally not be inferior to Ju Wuba in terms of strength, but his clone would be the exact opposite.
While possession by a ghost can forcibly stimulate the target's physical potential, causing them to unleash extraordinary strength and speed, it also depends on the original qualities of that body.
Moreover, this body is already nearing the end of its life, barely clinging to life with the help of a split soul. How could it possibly be a match for the berserk Ju Wuba?
Just as Xiang Ji was about to kick the other side away, the leopard pounced at his feet and bit his ankle!
And the tiger opened its blood-red maw and pounced again.
The giant elephant also strode heavily towards this place, and one could even faintly hear the howling of wolves in the distance.
Xiang Yu knew that this body was probably going to die, but Ju Wuba was still alive. If he hadn't died from such serious injuries, then Ju Wuba must be either the host or a god or a monster.
However, Xiang Yu's divided soul still has one ultimate move that would inflict a thousand damage on the enemy but eight hundred on himself, which he hasn't used yet. It might be able to kill Ju Wuba, but Xiang Yu doesn't really want to use it. He feels that Ju Wuba has already tested him enough.
"God of Wine, do you think if I let a split soul possess Ju Wuba, I can be sure if he is the host?" Xiang Yu suddenly thought of this trick again.
"If possession is successful, it should mean he's not the host; the system would never allow a ghost to take over." Hao Jiu's eyes lit up; perhaps this was a good way to judge. "However, is it possible for Ju Wuba to be successfully possessed in his current state, Shou Jun?"
“A madman is more likely to be possessed, so it’s worth a try. If a general like Ju Wuba weren’t mad, it would be difficult to succeed. Moreover, he has lost a lot of blood and is currently weak, so taking advantage of his weakness could be very successful,” Shoujun explained.
"Then let's give it a try." Xiang Yu made a decisive move, directly controlling his divided soul to invade Ju Wuba's body through the ring-pommel sword!
roar!
The tiger charged in and bit down on the neck of the former clone who had just died, almost biting off his head!
Ju Wuba took the opportunity to separate from his opponent, but the ring-pommel sword was still stuck in his left chest.
Just then, a cold and angry voice suddenly rang out from afar.
"How dare you, you beast, kill my beloved general!"
A figure rushed over at incredible speed—it was Liu Xiu!
